hi,

i am fairly new to anxiety/panic attacks.

i had my first panic attack about 4 months ago and from there it wasnt too bad, barley had any after my first but now its gotten worse. i cant sleep without waking up heat racing and finding it hard to breathe, now ive been getting more physical Symptoms and ive convinced myself something is wrong with my head, my head has been foggy and sometimes feels tight with sharp pains that dont last long. my right hand sometimes cramps and my right arm can sometimes feel numb, the more i stress myself about it the worse the symptoms get. i have also had blurred vision and struggle to focus, ive been told this is just anxiety?

    I get all the same symptoms it's all anxiety.

    I went through all the thoughts of having a brain tumor etc.

    Biggest challenge is accepting its anxiety and moving forward.

    Hope you feel better soon 😃

      thankyou for the reply!

      if you dont mind me asking how long did you have these symptoms for? did ever have an MRI ect..?

      i know that its all in my head but the physical symptoms are so scary!

      when i calm myself down they tend to go away so i just keep telling myself its anxiety.

      The physical symptoms are the worse!

      No I didn't get an MRI I saw 7 different doctors and they all said it was anxiety, I had to trust what they said.

      Get yours eyes tested as well, opticians can tell if you have a tumor by looking at your optic nerve, if it comes back clear you're fine 😃

      You just said yourself when you calm down the symptoms go away, that would be the case if it was brain tumor you would have symptoms all the time.
